SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
November & December
…to The Oxford English Centre! Here is the Social Activities Programme I’ve organised for you during your stay in Oxford.
In this booklet you will find details of all the activities planned for the time you are here. Please check in advance what you will be doing each day so you know where, and when, to meet and if you need to bring anything. Please read carefully. The meeting place for all of your activities is Caramba Café, or Carfax Tower. Please check carefully so you know where you should be meeting for each activity. It is very important that you carry your STUDENT CARD/DRIVING LICENCE OR I.D. AT ALL TIMES. Without it, you may not be able to take part in some social activities. The weather and the programme may change. Keep checking the Social Activities Notice Boards. More information about tours and activities is provided on the Activities board.
Important: All students under 18 must return to their host families by 22.30.
